An advisory opinion is an opinion issued by a court that does not have the effect of adjudicating a specific legal case, but merely advises on the constitutionality or interpretation of a law. Some countries have procedures by which the executive or legislative branches may certify important questions to the judiciary and obtain an advisory opinion. In other countries or specific jurisdictions, courts may be prohibited from issuing advisory opinions.

Q. where an advisory opinion is sought?
Asked by susie homemaker - Sat May 9 23:19:16 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because its unconstitutional for them to do so (really.) Article 3 only refers to "cases and controversies" and, so the argument goes, advisory or hypothetical situations are not "cases and controversies". Thus, they can't hear those cases. States courts don't have that same clause, and some do give advisory opinions. So sometimes will article 1 courts, who aren't bound by the "Cases and controversies" language.

Does any of your favourite band's albums have a "Parental Advisory" logo on it & what's your opinion on it?
Q. I'm an adult, so it kind of annoys me because it's not directed at me any longer so it's pointless being on there. I think the "Parental Advisory" logo doesn't really serve a purpose anymore.Most parents have no idea what their kids listen to anyway. My favourite band being Pantera, only Cowboys From Hell doesn't have the PA logo.(I'm only counting their major label releases)

YOur Opinion?
Q. Can you give me your opinion on this plz : gainesville, Fla. --- About 35 percent of the world's population is at risk of contracting deadly malaria, but many people are at a lower risk than previously thought, raising hope that the disease could be seriously reduced or eliminated in parts of the world. So concludes a group of researchers, including a scientist in the University of Florida Emerging Pathogens Institute, who spent three years producing the first spatial map of global malaria risk in four decades. The Malaria Atlas Project's findings appear today in the online edition of the open-access medical journal, PLoS Medicine. The Malaria Atlas Project, or MAP, found that 2.37 billion people were at risk of contracting malaria… [cont.]

A. I think they are right that the risk of Malaria, and many other risks for that matter, are substantially lower than people assume. I think there are enough people on this Earth, that a little cooperation, and a little contribution from everyone can go a long way. Since about 10% of the population of the world control about 90% of the money, it doesn't take much from those that have, to help those that don't. I think it's great that they are getting that out on the web, and hopefully it sparks enough interest to make a change.
